Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Sunday that he has no problem keeping the migrants in the squalid cells he saw during his detention facility tour in Texas with Vice President Mike Pence.
“What I saw is a bunch of people who have been here before, broke the law before,"
A truly amazing feat. In less than 90 seconds, Graham interviewed, investigated, tried and convicted “a bunch of people.” With talents like that the GOP can clear the court calendars before they go on their summer vacation.
We can see where this is going. Republicans will base their 2020 electoral hopes almost entirely on demonizing immigrants and refugees -the least among us -as scapegoats for all that ails America, whereas the real culprits are the entitled, fat-cat billionaire plutocrats. It’s ironic that at the exact same time ICE is conducting ill-advised raids, we have the Epstein saga -with its whiff of scandalous cronyism, criminality and corruption -playing out. It’s really not outlandish to compare this to 1930s Germany.
